What We Believe & Why It Matters
Our mission, our convictions, and the good news that changes everything.
Our Mission
LifePointe Church exists to glorify God and make gospel-driven disciples of Jesus Christ by engaging people in the unexpected joy of a life more and more dependent on Jesus.
That's not a slogan we hang on a wall—it's the reason behind everything we do. From Sunday Service to Community LifeGroups to our outreach in Northern Colorado and around the world we believe following Jesus is the door into the fullest, most joyful life there is.
How We're Led
LifePointe is led by a plurality of elders, rather than a single Senior or Lead Pastor. No one elder holds authority over the others—each has an equal voice, and the typical responsibilities of a lead pastor are shared among our Pastoral Leadership Team according to their gifting. We've operated this way since 2016, and we believe it brings stability, humility, and shared ownership to how we lead the church.

The Good News
The God of the Bible loves us and created us to be in relationship with Him. We are ultimately accountable to Him, and regretfully, all of us have sinned against Him and stand rightfully judged.
But there's good news—that's literally what “gospel” means. God acted in Jesus Christ to save us from that judgment. Jesus died on a cross to pay the penalty for our sin and to restore the relationship we were created for. God saves us by pure grace, not because of anything we've done, but solely because of what Jesus has done for us. That means we can be certain of God's love, regardless of our own shortcomings and failures.
We take hold of this gift through repentance and faith. “Repentance” simply means turning away from running our own lives and turning toward Jesus instead. If you want to receive Jesus as the forgiver of your sins and the leader of your life, it starts with a simple, honest prayer: admit to God that you've sinned and need His forgiveness, believe that Jesus died and rose again to save you, express your desire to turn from your old way of life, and ask Jesus to be your Lord and Savior. Then thank Him, and welcome to the beginning of a relationship that lasts forever.
A Christian is simply someone who has received this gift from God and is choosing, day by day, to let Jesus lead their life instead of following their own way.
